From the reviews

Recently switched my 5-yr-old son from a traditional summer camp to Master Kim’s summer camp for a month, my boy now picks Master Kim’s taekwondo camp every time I ask which school he wants to go to today. He enjoys different activities the camp offers in different days throughout the week.

★★★★★ — Quyen, Nov 2024

My three kids attended their 2025 Spring Break Camp as their first Master Kim's experience. They've attended many different camps in the past, but Master Kim's camp was certainly a different experience - in a good way! I believe they certainly enjoyed the variety of activities ...

★★★★★ — Chris, Apr 2025

My son has been attending Master Kim’s Martial Arts in Creve Coeur since last year, based on a recommendation from our previous martial arts facility. It has been a fantastic place for him to build confidence and develop self-discipline. The owner and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming.

New to taekwondo? Start at Master Kim's Martial Arts Creve Coeur

Master Kim's Martial Arts Creve Coeur comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first taekwondo class at Master Kim's Martial Arts Creve Coeur

Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
